On the occasion, Harshil Mathur, Co-Founder, Razorpay, said, "We believe that the online payments infrastructure in India has not developed at the same pace as the rest of the e-commerce and m-commerce eco-system. The fact that we have been backed by marquee investors, e-commerce entrepreneurs with amazing track record and other leaders in the payments eco-system has reinforced our belief that the Indian payment space was in much need of a technology-focused solution. We intend to deploy the funds for scaling up the product, building the right team and for strategic forays into the online payments industry."

Shashank Kumar, co-founder, Razorpay, added, "We are building the next generation payments infrastructure which will accelerate the future e-commerce growth in India. Our patented technology will greatly help in achieving higher transaction success rates and faster checkout time especially on mobile devices while making payment gateway integration as easy as embedding a few lines of code. The funding raised will help us accelerate the company's robust growth and future success."

"Digital payments is a very large opportunity and it is still early days for the industry in India. Transaction success rates are still very low and it is still difficult for smaller merchants to accept online payments. We believe in Harshil and Shashank' s vision of taking a technology first approach and are excited about partnering with them. We remain extremely positive on Fin-Tech in India and will take multiple bets in the space." said, Vikram Vaidyanathan, Managing Director, Matrix India

About Razorpay:

Razorpay, backed by Y Combinator, was started in 2014 by Shashank Kumar and Harshil Mathur, both alumni of IIT-Roorkee. Razorpay is on a mission to simplify online payments in India through a clean, easy-to-use and developer friendly payment gateway. Accepting online payments in India involves a lot of paperwork and bureaucratic red tape. Razorpay's effective and easy to integrate checkout form is what bridges the 2-tier problem, at both the developer's and customer's end. The integration takes less than 20 minutes and the checkout form provides a simplified and easy experience to the customers.

Razorpay aims to revolutionize the online payments by providing simple, affordable and secure way for small businesses, startups and other traditional SME organizations like schools, colleges and training centres to start accepting online payments. The team found that the existing US-based payment systems are unsuitable for companies who wish to accept payments in India. For a long time they felt that enabling frictionless transactions is a major problem and nobody seems to be doing it right, hence they started Razorpay!
